Grown and Harvested By Ourselves 

‘A POPULAR Hf BEST STRAIN 
THE NINE THIRTY-SIX is One of the popular Hale’s Best strains of cantaloupes. Like 
all Hale’s Bests, it is an early melon maturing in 85 days. The Nine Thirty-Six has a 
fine flavor and good shipping qualities. The melons are well netted with no sectors 
and run to even jumbo sizes, weighing 3 to 4 pounds. The flesh is thick and salmon 
colored, and the seed cavity is small and tight. The Nine Thirty-Six has an excellent 
flavor and a high sugar content. The vines are vigorous and set and hold a heavy 
crop of cantaloupes. 
The Nine Thirty-Six is adaptable to every cantaloupe section and, since we intro- 
duced the strain in 1934, it has become one of the leading commercial strains. Its 
high quality and its earliness account for this popularity. 
Having developed and introduced the Nine Thirty-Six, we are in a position to 
offer you an exceptionally fine stock of seed of this strain. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 25¢; VY, pound, 75¢; 12 pound, $1.35; 1 pound, $2.25; 
5 pounds, $9.90. 
WE ARE AMONG the largest grow- 
ers specializing in cantaloupe 
seed. The seed is grown in large 
quantities, and extreme care is 
taken to insure that there is no 
mixture. The seed fields are 
widely scattered over the Rocky 
Ford district to prevent cross 
pollenization. It is necessary for 
us to consult with our neighbors 
as to their plans in order to be 
certain that they are not planting 
cantaloupes close to our seed 
NINE THIRTY-SIX fields.
